We will be pulling into town on the 30th around mid-day.... A Good movie might be just the way to unwind from the long drive down

I wish they'd re-release this to theaters nationwide, like they used to do. Disney cops out by just issuing DVD releases and re-releases. They rob a generation of children of the opportunity to enjoy the classics on the big screen.

I really wish they'd make an exception to that policy in this case.
